Cherry Bar
Cherry Bar is a Melbourne bar and music venue that opened in December 1999. It was originally located on ACDC Lane, off Flinders Lane, where it replaced existing artist studios to become a dedicated rock music venue. The venue has historically been a popular after-party spot for touring bands and their crews, attracting notable visitors such as Noel Gallagher, Mick Jagger, Johnny Marr, and Lady Gaga. Its basement location means it stays true to its roots as a hub for rock music and related genres. In its early years, Cherry Bar featured a diverse music programme, including Deep Funk nights on Wednesdays, hip-hop on Thursdays, and rock and roll during the weekends. Over time, the DJ roster expanded to include a variety of rock DJs and PBS announcers, with Thursday nights dedicated to Soul In The Basement. The bar continues to host free downstairs events and live performances from various bands. The bar has been referenced in songs by Australian rock bands Airbourne and Jet, highlighting its place in Melbourne's music scene. Cherry Bar is open seven days a week, often with free entry for downstairs areas.
